The  Liverpool  Show,  1910. 
and  Jack , and  the  Liverpool  Corporation  were  awarded  third 
prize  with  a chestnut  and  a roan. 
The  next  two  classes  were  confined  to  members  of  the 
Liverpool  Team  Owners’ Association,  which  body  also  provided 
the  prizes  offered  for  competition.  Out  of  nineteen  entries 
in  the  single  class  seventeen  came  into  the  ring  for  adjudica- 
tion, all  fine  specimens  of  the  Liverpool  working  cart  horse. 
First  and  second  positions  were  secured  by  Messrs.  John  Jarvis 
& Sons,  Ltd.,  Messrs.  Wm.  Roberts  & Son  were  placed  third, 
and  Mr.  Thomas  Singleton  fourth. 
In  the  class  for  pairs  seventeen  out  of  eighteen  entries  came 
under  the  Judge's  notice.  Messrs.  John  Jarvis  & Sons,  Ltd., 
were  again  successful  in  securing  first  and  second  prizes,  third 
going  to  Mr.  Thomas  Singleton,  and  fourth  to  Messrs.  Garlick 
& Burrell,  Ltd. 
Hunters.— The  yearling  colts  were  weak,  the  two-year-old 
colts  fair,  and  three-year-olds  a good  class.  Fillies  were  very 
strong  throughout,  both  in  numbers  and  merit,  particularly 
the  yearling  and  two-year-old  classes,  both  of  which  produced 
winners  of  exceptional  merit.  The  brood  mares  light  weight 
class  was  strong  numerically,  and  the  first  three  prize  winners 
were,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Judges,  good  enough  to  win  in  any 
company.  The  heavy  weight  mares  were  not  so  strong.  The 
foals  throughout  were  quite  up  to  the  average,  the  colt  foals 
being  better  than  the  fillies. 
Polo  and  Riding  Ponies. — On  the  whole  these  classes  were 
good,  and  the  standard  of  merit  quite  up  to,  if  not  over,  the 
average.  The  Judges  were  favourably  impressed  with  the 
young  stock,  which  were  unusually  even  in  quality  and  type. 
Class  43  was  good  in  quality  ; the  winning  stallion,  Spanish 
Hero,  was  once  more  awarded  the  Championship,  the  second 
prize  animal,  Otlirae , again  being  Reserve  Champion.  The 
yearlings  were  a splendid  class.  The  winner,  Oyster  Shell , 
was  a filly  of  great  quality,  of  lovely  type  and  a taking  mover. 
Silvester , the  second  prize  animal,  was  a great  colt  and  ran  the 
winner  very  close.  The  third,  Sparkling  Crocus , was  a sweet 
filly,  but  rather  short  of  substance.  Of  the  two-year-olds,  the 
first,  Coral  Reef,  was  an  excellent  filly  of  the  highest  class, 
with  beautiful  shoulders  and  a good  mover.  The  second, 
Honeysuckle , was  a very  good  sort  ; and  this  was  generally 
a nice  class.  Another  good  class  were  the  tbree-year-olds  ; 
the  winner,  Romany , was  a great  filly,  correct  in  every  way 
and  possessing  bone  and  substance.  The  remaining  winners 
were  quite  good  ponies.  The  brood  mare  class  was  poor  in 
numbers.  Patricia , the  first,  also  won  the  Champion  Gold 
Medal.  She  was  a chestnut  of  perfect  type  and  just  the 
sort  to  breed  from.  The  second,  Black  Bella,  was  a grand
